1979 10 07 Seahawks at 49ers

before in the NFC to Burke's problem according to bill Lofton I talked to him before the game is that he tries to force the pass into a crowd to make things happen if he doesn't do that today Walsh says he can be a winning quarterback and for the 49ers number 32 OJ Simpson is a guy who can't do it week in and week out but he had a fine day last Sunday rushing for 89 yards at all and you know just having OJ Simpson on the field for the 49ers makes them a force on offense he's scary are at the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks upcoming here on NBC from Candlestick in San

all the running backs McCullough Blodgett and Pete's the receivers stay on a pig days the San Francisco defense isn't that tough there's the offensive line Nick deep out back in the starting lineup along with Bob Newton who is replaced brown coder and a look at the front four of the San Francisco 49ers as the Seahawks go to work on first down now this is Gordon getting the call short pickup for Dan Corning heaven-sent the left defensive tackle making the stop and the Sephora aggressive play but the Crotty Savelle when you have a collective record of 1 in 9 mar 10 purse or a little bit short there's the defensive line Reese Vincent Jimmy Webb and of course Hartman who has been around a long time rushing quarterbacks it will be a second and 8 at the 31-yard line a look at the 49er and linebackers Jeff McIntyre who was a doubtful because of a sprained knee is in there today will he hopper on the right and soon the middle linebacker the star of North Dallas 48 wonderful I was going to throw with a poly marker down out of the pocket at he was super McCullen for a first down Sam McCollum taken down by McIntyre and hopper but a flag has down a procedure call against the Seahawk [Music] Zorn one of the better scramblers in the National Football League and he made that play happen although there were backfilled in motion it'll cost the Seahawks we will hear it from a referee Pat Haggerty incidentally the umpire today is al Conway the head linesman as wal Peters the line judge Bern Marshall the bank judge Jim Poole the side judge is dick Creed and the field judge Bablu illegal formation tackle uncovered ha feet [Applause] second and 15 for the Seahawks back at their 26 yard line the 49ers secondary a host of new veins in there as we look back to a year ago at this time a lot of changes in the defensive back bill for the Niners Raven rose to the right and larger out loud and this is stuff they call for Truman stare McIntyre makes the stop on Smith chairman smith now taking up some of the slack again with the loss of David Simms and Sherman Smith runs inside as well as any running back in the National Football League you saw the block on buns and chairman Smith took advantage it's a burden too and the Seahawks go to the double tight end alignment Brian Pitz and Mark Bell come on Seattle with a record of one and four they come off the loss to Kansas City last week by the score of 44 to 6 that perhaps the most disappointing defeat of the season here's joining clapping for a first down close to that first down marker elven Morgan free safety Dan Boone's bet a linebacker combining to make the stop the Seahawks losing to San Diego 3316 tough loss to Miami 1910 beat Oakland 27th day they're calling for the art fix lost the Denver 37 to a 34 game that Mike and I telecast Seahawks had jumped to the 34 10th lead at Denver led by Craig Horton scored 27 consecutive fine he's going to be short [Music] will Jack the terrible part he's a gambling type coach especially on offense mark I don't see a punt team Patera is going for it forfeit inches Seahawks they were CSUN down as the pilot [Applause] [Music] according fries so the 49ers appear to have held the seahawks will have to wait and see McIntyre and Hartmann combining to stack up joining well they want the yardsticks once again [Applause] he's got it this time Marv take they marked it so that he's got the first down this whole special teamer knows when they get him not by far though yes it is a first down throw the ball but those are the football picking up the first down and the Seahawks now first down from just inside the 40-yard line ravenous to the right Largent left in the slot it's McCullum the running backs are Smith and joining and the quarterback is zone play action zone goes sideline and completes to Roble first out for Seattle at midfield cars Cornelius the left cornerback covering on the flood the offensive mark of the Seattle Seahawks is the play-action pass on first down you fake to the full-back to hold the linebackers the out pattern to Rabil is wide open and Jim Zorn on on his first pass he's going to stop those boos in Seattle strange thing like the 49ers Seattle usually starts strongly in the first quarter and then they drop off Seahawks have outscored their opponents 23 nothing in the first quarter they have died particularly in the fourth book that's Roger in motion and here's spent what's the Turner because but pick up the first down he'll visit Morgan the free safety was able to get daddy trusted get him and I'll tell you if Melvin Morgan wouldn't and he was on the ground when he makes this tackle Outstanding Lead blocked by coder 61 and Sherman Smith gets the corner and that's important in the National Football League look at Morgan 46 laying on his stomach reaches the hand out trips him up otherwise Smith have been the end zone it's a 13 yard run by Sherman Smith who has been averaging four and a half per pop first down at the San Francisco 37 three minutes in first quarter and thorn COEs sight line for logic down at the 45 and thrown out of bounds at the putti so the Seahawks moving very well here in the first quarter Gerrard Williams the right quarterback for the 49ers make the push out on logic again a first down pass Steve Largent I'll tell you one of finest receivers in the National Football League and who says you have to have great straight ahead speed large and not one of your burners but also one of the best receivers in the NFL first down for the Seahawks just inside the 20 yard line large and is off to the right side now they light up in the eye with Smith behind Dornoch but Colin comes leg [Applause] [Music] and here's Sherman Smith off a beautiful faith it's inside the 15 Ted Vincent the left defensive tackle for the 49ers number 75 making the stop I'm Batman and again you pointed out the outstanding move of Sherman Smith I said he was an inside runner supreme in the NFL look at the little Juke that he makes to wait for the hole to be blocked by his offensive lineman outstanding jab by Bob Newton who has come in after being injured for the past two weeks Jeff Moore has come out a replaced Smith in the backfield second m3 and this is Dorne [Applause] now the Seahawks take a six to nothing lead running back to cut back against so watch Newton 78 he blocked Danny buns the middle linebacker Dornoch back against flow and when you get those defenders running the other way your defenses in the end zone and with Tim's hurt Dornoch has filled some big shoes Heffron Herrera with Jim Zorn to hold Herrera is 9 for 10 on the season 13 yard run by Gornick herrera with the extra point and the seahawks to the first quarter have taken a seven nothing lead here at Candlestick Park in San Francisco we'll be back with the Seattle kickoff in just a moment beautifully executed scoring drive by the Seattle Seahawks ninth place 70 yards Corning took it in from 15 yards out of the Seahawks lead it 7 nothing the deep end for San Francisco James Owens at the bottom of your picture he is the fleet rookie out of UCLA and the 4-year propo hoper of Mississippi Alice's Herrera getting set to kickoff [Applause] [Music] fielded by a hoofer to the 20 Horford out to the dong-joo pay back up secondary mad at Peter chronic divided to make this stop final score st. Louis defeating Houston 24 17 that so final as you look at that 49er backfield the quarterback Steve de Berg OJ Simpson and Wilber Jackson are the running backs the wide receivers for the Niners Freddy Solomon who came from Miami and has done very well Mike Schumann of young man who Phil Walsh likes very much and of course the famous Notre Dame tight into his number one pick in next week Sherman goes left and Sullivan right as the bird looks to throw in first out dumps it off to Jackson Wilbur Jackson Krypto across the 30 by Sammy green 4 year Pro out of the University of Florida 49ers love to throw to the running backs they picked on the wrong linebacker though Sammy green is the best reported out her offensive line singleton Ayers Quillin cross who was a questionable with a strained hip is in there and Fon Horace 7 nothing Seahawks on top 2nd and 7th and Jackson again out to the 36 37 yard line mano piasa so po also an injured player coming in bad need did not practice last couple of days but in there long with Carl eller as you look at that Seahawk front for seller Robert heartburn hearty Tuiasosopo and bill Gregory Carl eller his second start by Packers green besom and butler as a bird out and to 49ers out of the I jacket in front of Simpson and here is hojae on his Foster [Applause] the right tackle of a good block the spring sensitive savvy cream came up to make the star some of the moves of the juice he still got him I know that knee is bad and it swells and he doesn't get to practice all week but just see the quick feet and he gets to the corner even breaks the tackle a bit of an arm tackled OJ Simpson and I'd love to see him gain 100 yards comes off the 89 yard effort last which there you look at those very impressive career totals on the Jimmy bra has gained more yardage here stupor [Applause] Creve at her outstanding call by head coach Phil whoa he wanted to isolate his prey in Kim MacAfee on the linebacker and most linebackers are going to have a tough time keeping up for the big tight end it was Danny Green who usually covers very well on the past at McAfee had him beaten by 15 yards and he's wide open quarterbacks love that back feeds all the way down inside the 5-yard line and this could be a wild afternoon to score 50 yard pass play it's a first and goal the bird asks for quiet [Applause] okay going outside finally get in but cannot stopped at the line of scrimmage Cornell Webster the left quarterback was if it'll follow sips it off to the left Simpson lost his footing though again when you do not practice during the week it tends to take a couple plays for the legs get underneath it and OJ slipped right there and that meant he could never get outside to the corner Webster had him easily it'll be a second and goal at the three Phil Francis rookie out of stanford has come on wearing number 48 replacing Wilbur Jackson they line up the VI that's Francis in front of Simpson an esoteric a daddy [Applause] breakfast $40 now l7 says the reason they bring in Phil Francis is for the lead blocking watch 48 he goes in clears the way for OJ buries his man and Simpson has nothing to do but fall across the goal line and a 49ers around the board here we go well Jay has turned up some of your tidge here in the first quarter in his pursuit of Jimmy Brown that's going to be I would think impossible unless there is a miraculous recovery of OJ's roughly putting it right through and so we are tied with 747 writing in the first quarter Seattle seven San Francisco seven on sports world the WBA heavyweight title is up for grabs as power puncher Jerry could see a battles Big John Tate then great teams and great action innovation controlling plus celebrity poker all on sports world October 20th the 49er drives six plays 71 yards in three and a half minutes the big play the 50-yard pass from de Burgh to McAfee Simpson took it in from three yards out and were tied at seven you just got to look at head coach Bill Walsh one of the finest coaches in the pass offense ever in the National Football League you play sir Walsh among your many coaches one of my mini siddhappa all right the kickoff fire working and here's Lane handling it for the first time as a Seahawk Oh tackle by Erik Johnson number 24 a three-year man out of Washington State as Tony green a guy who has been around Seattle his third Club of the season handles it for the very first time as you look at the scoreboard Kansas City just getting by Cincinnati by the score of 10 7 Giants have defeated Tampa Bay led by rookie quarterback Phil Simms so the Buccaneers lose their first of the season Philadelphia convincingly over Washington 28 to 17 ass it's continued in the NFL amazing first from 10 at the 14 yard line Jim Zorn the quarterback joining confession powerful running backs now that's Johnny GaN a spread ahead move stop by Ted Vincent they left defensive - Oh a punch was thrown Vincent the left defensive tackle had some was worth warning and again 1 & 9 the collective record of these two clubs and that makes for short tempers and we're going to see it all day personal foul I guess both the 49ers and the Seahawks [Music] the flare-up began out the last series for Seattle back to the scoreboard New England did not have an easy time with Detroit and to score in the last minute there's this surprise when to that Buffalo offense I'll tell you rain hail every other kind of weather you can think up at Atlanta over Green Bay 25 to 7 you'd expect that score after that big Monday night win by Green Bay and as a second and five of the 19 still able now has flight to the left side [Applause] Ayer Smith got a hole on the left once again and off the stutter step move he picks up the first down the strong saftey Jim Gray number 30 wave attack oh I talked to Bill Wald fire to the game about his line backing core he said nothing and that's the reason for the outstanding inside running and chairman Smith takes advantage and makes the defensive back eventually make the stop I like a nice block assured by a Dornoch to Seth Smith the crew you know you haven't got linebackers in the National Football League you can't play defense logic right McCulloch blab we're tied at seven six and a half to go first quarter here's 20 I'm trying to go outside and thought down across the 30 by Jeff McIntyre I mentioned earlier McIntyre was a question mark because of a sprained knee he is a rookie out of Arizona State starting at left linebacker with Scott Hilton out of action he'll out with a assemblee netted shoulders another final score the Cardinals and again do it beat Houston 24 17 you st. Louis was one in four going into that game they were due for a good run it's a second and five as McCullum goes slot right ravenous to the left white mad right is larger and once again sword hands off at door stop that door ting stopped at the line of scrimmage stand bumps for the linebacker right the defensive tackle Jimmy we're combining to make the play so it's a third out five upcoming Webb made an outstanding move that time and that's the reason Jordan got no yardage I was a bit surprised I expect Jordan to throw more than he has but he's kept it on the ground and Sherman Smith is ripping off 13 into cracked I guess you keep running he threw an awful lot against Kansas City last week 23 for 38 for those of misleading statistics many of those completions were dumped off to his backs now sworn to throw a knee completes it he's got a first down with Sam McCollum so sorne for the perfectly thrown pass as bunsen McIntyre were able to get to number 84 McCullum a six year Pro out of Montana State with his foot chief reception of the season and it's a first down for Seattle at their 43 we're tied at 7 we have 5 and a half remaining in this first quarter Marv Albert and Mike Hafner from Candlestick Park in San Francisco raivo left logit right that's for colorfully Hawk to the slaughter [Applause] [Music] bizarre to throw on first down lace it off at throwing Krampus put his eyes off it and he's unhappy that happens a lot barb especially when you could hear the linebacker bearing down on you you want to turn around and look quickly so you can make a move on him and Dornoch did it before you had the ball tucked away and those things will happen I hate to see receivers drop the ball though oh well it's something you can relate to just kidding yeah thanks for that but I dropped my share second and 10 out of the 43 yard line Jeff Moore I get in for Sherman spent lined up at the eye right behind dawning [Music] and here's four more with good acceleration out to the 50-yard line McIntyre makes the stop so Jeff Moore carrying the ball for only the fourth time this season he'd come in three carries 20 yards has been disappointing of the kickoff and punt return game that the reason that the Seahawks signed Tony Green read you may recall as a Pro Bowler last year with Washington and then seemingly lost it picked up by the Giants early the season did not do it with the Giants and was picked up just this past week because Moore had been disappointing we go to the double tied at 11 for a third and two out of it feel urban strip back in dividing with dance joining off the fake it Smith going wide bubbles and out of bounds he is close to that first down marker and he slept in the backfield when he was just getting underway that might have cost him the first down if he didn't make it but he did he got past the yard marker first and ten it was Melvin Morgan the free safety who was able to bump him out of bounds four minutes remaining in this first quarter and the Seahawks and the 49ers are tied at 7 on the subject of the Kansas City game last week the Seahawks for the first time in a long long time heard boos out of the kingdom of very young Kansas City defensive unit handcuffing that high-powered Seattle on back there trying to come back for that man here is dawn beautiful catch this time by joining caught up the hip but just a short pick up with McIntyre right on the play that was nice a Jim Zorn to go back to Dornoch on the same pass he owed him one this time he made a great catch instead of dropping it there you see his statistics from last week ten passes that the Seahawk record before the running backs are catching a lot of passes these days everywhere there's Jeff McIntyre rookie out of Arizona State the man who caught Corning Sedona Cody able to pick up a yard it's a second and nine and again Jeff Moore isn't that Seattle backfield Largent is to the left and McCollum goes not left oh you sell the all the moves but right there on the handoff but I don't see a penalty marker down not a plague damn it they must say get back we'll get another look at it as Jimmy Webb made the stop [Applause] [Music] I don't know if we can see the lineman jump yes there's the nose tackle jumping but they all got back did not cross the cross make it across the offensive line of scrimmage I'll get that across it's a third and eight now 49ers go three four while parking has come on as the extra life back and Sauron goes for our cookies inside the 15-yard line strong saftey timbre pushed him out of our zone zone defense this this time by the San Francisco 49ers in their 3-4 setup Gerard Williams had the short route and all Jim Zorn did was throw it over Gerrard Williams head and in front of the deep secondary and it was an easy completion a 32 yard pass play as Steve Washington cops his 17th reception of the season 27 games in a row now with a catch there's touring with lots of room on the outside inside the five Alvin Morgan the free safety and Gerrard Williams the right quarterback make the stop as you look at Seattle head coach Jack Patera one of the reasons that the Seahawks are getting outside as easily as they are is because of the linebacking problems the 49ers have had this season you don't usually get outside in the NFL especially against today's great outside linebackers got you got a rookie on one side and injured Willie Harper on the other and that makes it tough it's the first out first.we Galactica 3 the setbacks of Jordan Smith and this is Dornoch and courting battle system for the school and quartic was able to break tackles on the way and let by the tight end beats and fell and the Seahawks alia put team to Southern I'll tell you Dan Dornoch better go over and thanks Herrmann Smith because his lead block on Danny buns watched 47 right there on 57 buns and you can forget it touchdown City that was Eric Johnson who tried to stop at 24 Sherman Smith just blew him out and Dornoch with his good speed and stability was in the end zone Dornoch has scored both Seattle touchdowns with sorne holding here is Herrera to try for the extra point we have 233 remaining in the first quarter here at Candlestick in San Francisco and it's the Seattle Seahawks leading the San Francisco 49ers by the score of 14 to 7 we'll be back in just a moment [Music] Seahawks leading the 49ers now 14 to 7 as Herrera gets set to kickoff to the combination James Owens and Paul Hofer that's Hofer at the top of your screen 233 left in the first quarter and again a bouncer that is fielded by Owens to the 2000-3000 I would you describe that I know he was a world-class long jumper at one time in his career but that looked like a half gainer with a full twist and again those bouncing footballs tend to slow up the coverage but Owens there he goes I'll give that a nine point three Sammie Green was the man who unleashed James Owens it's a first half for the 49ers now at the 28 yard line they are trailing by the score of 47 running backs are Simpson and Jackson here's okay nowhere to go old Jay Simpson cut off by Keith Simpson number 42 no relation to OJ keep a second-year pro out of Memphis State who has emerged as a starter at strong safety in OJ Simpson that time you could see where the left knee bothers him he couldn't make the brake to the outside and that cost him in ERT five minutes and four seconds for that last Seattle scoring drive capped off by Dornoch taking it in for his second score of afternoon it's a second intent for San Francisco after 28 yard line now de Burgh throwing the middle beautiful cat display for a first down by Freddy Sullivan 30 solemn of a 5 year Pro out of Tampa University stop 5 at a light backer Terry be sent it's a first down at the 40s one of the hardest perceptions to make for a wide receiver is to come back from the direction he is moving in and Steve de Burgh through this behind Freddy Solomon Solomon had to go backwards he was coming towards your screens had to go back and catch it that takes great concentration and great athletic ability now Owens is wide right the tight end is Brewer now MacCabe started the game and here's Simpson try to pick his way through it does high school by OJ through a crowd out to the 46 Keith Butler at the right linebacker made the stop on a good block by the right tackle on horse OJ Simpson can find the smallest cracks to get into he has that great sense 11 years of running behind great offensive lines and gaining big yardage and he made the perfect move to gain the 5 yards they needed six yard carry for OJ who comes off at 89 yard effort last week against San Diego second and four Phil Francis in the lineup replacing Wilber Jackson as Owens staff goes to the left side for he second phonetic in this first quarter here Simpson again and he got the first out oh say looking very sharp there on the first quarter Terry he said that a linebacker makes the stop and again Oh Jay Simpson as soon as he gets a few carries the knee starts to warm up and he starts enjoying it when he sees the blocking out front Oh Jay Simpson can still run the football even on one leg nice block by the left guard John Ayers time running down in this first quarter and you after seeing the final play of the quarter at the end of one the score San Francisco trailing Seattle 14 to 7 we'll be back after these messages from your local station [Music] the Frederick and Nelson's storewide fall sail saved from 10 to 70 percent at one of 1979's biggest savings events saved 22 to 25 percent on

after one quarter in and the Seahawks Lipa 49ers 14 to 7 as we pick it up San Francisco ball first down at the Seattle 47 yard line the quarterback is Steve de Berg the running backs are some sad Wilbur Jackson has OJ cuts to the lab and the birch swings it out for Jackson out about by keeps Epson we're seeing two offensive minded football clubs maybe because their defenses aren't that good but throwing on first down is the sign that you are an offensive club and both teams have done it consistently a second and six coming up now for San Francisco setting that lion again singleton and von Horst at the tackles Aires and cross the guards the center is pullin second down play for the Merc three year Pro out of San Jose State who has completed 59% he's tied with Archie Manning of New Orleans his fourth of the NFC ground game again for Jackson stop by the middle linebacker Terry riesen and Terry Beeson is the man against the running game he plays it very very well as weakness has been against the past that would imagine Steve de Berg will take advantage of that all afternoon new yard pickup for Jackson burden for at the 41 now Jay getting a breather 49ers need this first down for their mental attitude they can store their good offensive team they just can't stop the seahawks today well the setback is Jackson and the bird fires himself for sure on nearly caught by Harris who did not expect that kind of bullet I think Schumann might have caught that one the bird looking over the sidelines not wanting those bill walls to punt it away but it went right through humans hands although it was tipped and if it had moved up its past it's not Schuman spoke so damn Belleville will come on for the first time rookie out of the university of california as you look at Tony green create a second-year pro from the University of Florida that's off Belleville as he gets em he'll punt from his 45 yard line a high hop for green and wisely lets it go not much he could do as elbow puts the Seahawks back within their 15-yard line at there's a break in the action right here opening minute of play second quarter with the Seahawks leading it 14-7 Marv Albert with Mike Hafner back at Candlestick Park in San Francisco where early second quarter but Mike being back here must bring back a lot of big memories boy I think I dropped a couple touchdown passes here baby 1970 all right back to the field where the Seattle Seahawks have a 14-7 lead and a first down back at their 15 yard line McCullum is slot left now for Seattle [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so full fit of the line on the handoff distorting dad Dornoch with a straight ahead boo again they got back before the snap when he crossed the offensive line of scrimmage notice how I got that down now Dan bugs making the stop on the play a five-yard pickup it'll be a second and five at the 18th sea Hawks come in with a season record of one and four last week losing to Kansas City at home by the score of twenty four to six they are third offensively in the AFC perdón passing fifth in Russian but their major problem has been defensively there's Corning to cut back its out of the 19 yard line Vincent and Saracino combined to make the stop so us a pickup of one that will have a food at about three Phil Walsh must have been listening his linebackers have been playing horribly up to this point so he puts Gordy Saracino in the lineup first thing he does is stop that sweep that's been killing him all those placed across the 20-yard line mark Bell has come on out the double tight end joining his card at 12 times for 49 yards so he's off to a fine start here in the first half [Music] [Applause] Jeff 4c played a bit of playing time here this afternoon he's been spelling Sherman Smith getting a shot of the backfield will he hopper the right side linebacker was there to Creek more and again if they stopped the off tackle and outside running plays it's because of the linebackers in Willie Harper out of Nebraska a man that made the stop Herman Weaver who had to block last week by Kansas City taking away - the combination of Dungy and Sullivan and this is Sullivan to the 45 and Crowder has across the 45 yard line the forty niners style will go back to her 42-yard punt by Weaver and we have a timeout we'll be back here at Candlestick at San Francisco in a moment picked Sunday start your day with NFL 79 followed by regional coverage of exciting NFL action telecasting Joe Ferguson leading the bills against the Dolphins a Patriots bears battle and Seattle's orange enlarging combo challenging the Chargers next Sunday here on NBC it outstanding lineup of NFL action first of all at 9:30 a.m. Pacific time NFL 79 with Bryant Gumbel and Mike Adamle and a look

12:30 it'll be Seattle at San Diego and Denver at Kansas City that went out to be big important interdivisional game as will the Seattle San Diego game 49ers back to the offense were three minutes in second quarter San Francisco trailing Seattle 14-7 this is Simpson but with his old man pally marker down as okay was able to cut back some pretty footwork by Simpson to get to midfield Dave rava white quarterback tripped him up but there is a flag down saw 11 years of experience at running back that dive but it's all going to come back we'll get the call from the referee Pat Haggerty Oh Jay in a collision in his backfield with some white regular boss 471 offense first down Keith spot horse the right tackle is called for the hole that's if we can see the holding again it's oj on the sweep to his right and the Seahawks play it well and oh yes had a hand 2 yards of jersey in his hand Iron Horse got caught Oh J sure made it something out of nothing and it was a fart horse do you see the penalty markers down look to the curiosity' [Music] number 74 will have his number called adjust the moment you got two yachts of SoCo down cold defense 77 he said 77 but our crack camera crew proves that it's number 74 new yaw Sissoko bill Francis has come on out first well he says Gregory number 77 the right defensive end will stay with julie asti so far our cameraman can't be fooled and it's a first now and 15 back of the 41 yard line here's the bird looking for Owen that he changed his mind [Applause] by the light linebacker making the stop on the play came back and he try to move that football up a couple of yards did not work it is still short of a first down about a yard to have to go he saw the classic reading quarterback he got to look over the entire secondary and eventually after great protection found McAfee for almost first down and the Burgas now 5 for 6 for 85 yards so he has those impressive statistics going for him here in the first half this time Simpson ok paddles for the first time he's mighty close we'll have to see Sammy green in on the stuff this telecast is presented by authority of the National Football League and it's intended for the private use of our audience and Erie broadcaster while the use of this telecast without the express written consent of the San Francisco 49ers and the National Football League is prohibitive just short of a first down it will be a bird and this much Pittsburgh leading Cleveland routed a 14 and preferred what happens when the Steelers get healthy that's that's true ten and a half prevailing second-quarter Seattle in San Francisco 14-7 and yes the first outfit dumped by Bill Francis a diving move by the rookie out of stanford quick opening play and Phil Francis again a great lead blocker and also a power back and he finds and dives over that one out given nine point three go for the first down well Francis who has had an injury-plagued career particularly collegiately Denver lead San Diego's seven nothing in the third Mike Schumann is out to the left side for his first from the 41 the bird off the beautiful fake Sullivan on the end or out but it does not click bill Gregory was right there to stop Sullivan the defensive play was for Gregory to stay at home in his defensive position all that faking and everything Gregory didn't fall for it and it cost him I thought maybe New Orleans would come back this week but the Rams are definitely in control of that one Archie Manning coming off of a good day against the Giants last Sunday Giants today upsetting Tampa Bay with giant rookie quarterback Phil Simms out of four head state leading the attack it's a second and seven at the food eh the 49ers err Simpson went by the left cart ja dares was stopped by Visa and Green OJ Simpson throughout his 11-year career in the National Football League has been noted for that first two seed he avoids the tackler now he sees the hole there's the first and that gave him an extra two or three yards it's a six yard pickup for Simpson and a third and one at the 32 Baltimore Colts leading the New York Jets 10 3 every week we say Ted marchibroda job is on the line every week but folks lose this time the Colts in front they having a good club early in the contest Wilberg checks in with Sammy green making the stop very very close [Applause] [Laughter] if I were Bill Walsh I'd go for this first down his club needs it for there amongst since Paul William Francis has come on replacing Jackson Dennis Boyd left defensive and has come on for Karl eller he is just off injured reserve reactivated replacing Ernie Price who was rough point is in that little party Vyasa Samoan Gregory hair sucks [Applause] this time Francis with the lead blocker and they ran misdirection Oh Jo and do his dive over the pile for the first [Applause] [Music] it is a first down at the 29-yard line so okay who did look good last week after a couple of soso efforts looking very sharp here on the first half again yes his presence on the field here [Music] eighty-four human emotion deferred looking the other way and he's got cepsa there's hope inside the 25 foot block by the center Fred fuller and he's sitting there saying oh if I wouldn't have slipped I could have got another 15 or 20 it's a five-yard pickup anime a second and five at the 24 setting the Seahawks defensively Boyd party Tuiasosopo and Gregory are up front a reminder sports world two weeks from yesterday October the 20th two of the hardest hitters in boxing going toe-to-toe for the WBA heavyweight title undefeated John Tate going up against her kochiya from Pretoria South Africa [Applause] and go either way I don't know if Seattle was drawn offside or if they jump by themselves I'll have to wait for mr. Haggerty well offside against Seattle says fire hydrant I think it was - yes - so foe again 74 huh it is 75 Robert Hardy I think both of them jumped but they caught Hardy you're talking about the heavyweight championship fights are [Applause] first on you and dr. Ferdie Pacheco will be over there for that one ought to be exciting it will be in fact speculation is that Larry Holmes will go although he says if it's Casilla he will not fight him in South Africa I first out of the 19 yard line [Applause] with the cherry move that it was finished boy taking it all the way down step by singleton to burn rubber sole Butler blessed by the linebacker de Burgh never saw him coming from the weak side he wasn't picked up running back a perfect call on defense the ball pops up in the air and Boyd is there johnny-on-the-spot the butler was the main man on the pass rush he'll see nobody touches him he's got a straight shot at two Birds back trying to hit OJ in the flat there's Dennis Boyd who is just back off injured reserve and I'll tell you defensive lineman love it when they get a chance to run the football out of bamboo four guys six foot five 250 55 pound run singleton the left tackle for the 49ers the man who made the stop ah Dennis boy obviously shaken up and helped to the sideline and that was ruled an interception so deburred is picked off on the ninth time this year but it was the jarring move on the Blitz by the linebacker Keith Butler setting up the Seahawks in excellent position right here on first down penalty marker down as Louisville picks off that zorn pass down at the 30 yard line holding against the Seattle Seahawks offensive line there's Pat Haggerty good call by Zorn you get a turnover you want to go up top nobody was open deep I jumped it off but the holding penalty across the Seahawks just under six remaining of the first half in Seattle leading San Francisco by the score of 14 to 7 this is the fourth penalty against the Seahawks and here's hacker do we have holding number 61 puppets first down the left guard Tom Lynch three-year man out of Boston College is called for the hole that puts it back at the 48 and Olivia first and 20 Dan Dornoch has scored both Seattle touchdown 14 yard run and then the short pop from three yards out OJ Simpson took it in from three for the 49ers following a 50 yard pass play between the Berg and the tight end MacCabe our Jordan is going product cost the 49ers up is hit for a loss al cowlings and rain board coming in from the right side and obviously the 49ers were not pulled the misdirection will work if you've got the defensive Club moving away from the carrier each time at that time 49ers weren't fooled as you said it's a four yard loss that will be a second and 24 out at that field now logic to the lap Rainville is right McCullum is in the slot and sorting are the running backs [Applause] [Music] sort of the rod is able to fire a leaping catch bait by launching Steve Largent picked up the first out he was pushed back the other way that was a beautifully executed play Jim Zorn on the scramble and that gives your receivers time to get depth against the defensive backs and then like all great receivers Steve Largent coming back to his quarterback who is scrambling and when you come back to the ball it's no chance for the defensive back one problem though is large it may have hurt his ankle on that play limped off and he's been replaced there he is I keep telling the trainer I turned it outside it hurts first down at the 27 yard line McCullum is now to the right side but the handoff for joining short pickup for the second year Pro out of Washington State who's averaging better than 3 per carry Ted Vincent left defensive tackle linebacker Cory Saracino combining to make the stop Sherman Smith had the lead block that time and he couldn't find a man to block and he got in the way and that caused or nixon starting speed picked up about a yard second and 9 number 86 Jesse green recent addition to the Seattle lustre has come on how's the extra wide receiver breena's to the light and rabo left McCullum in the slot [Music] and get along count by Azure ear Smith bouncing running room and then try to cut back the other way Saracino and Vincent stopping Sherman Smith right here we pause briefly for station identification this is the NBC television network this is ki ng TV Seattle it'll be a third and five down of the 22 this is Favre Albert with Mike Hafner from Candlestick Park San Francisco California three minutes 12 seconds remaining in the first half and the Seahawks on two touchdowns by Dan joining lead the 49ers on a touchdown by OJ Simpson by the score of 14 to 7 and so to throw close to tie a roughly fast pull down by scoring and it's a first and goal for the Seahawks guarding stop by Sarah Seto but a first and goal is set up tremendous control and poise by Jim Zorn what the great pressure on him I mean he they got the whole 49er front four in on him and he just barely got it away to Dornoch the Dornoch proved last week with ten receptions that he's the man to look for when you're in trouble and as a first and goal down at the 7th ja ja no leads the Seahawks to the line Zorn is now 7 for 8 a hundred and eleven yards so off to a superb first half in Seattle get one tackler inside the five and he says just getting into the right-hand corner Melvin Walker the free safety could not stop whoa and again 49er linebackers were caught up in the big mishmash at the line of scrimmage he breaks to the outside and there isn't anybody there to stop him except defensive backs and they're not expected to stop the running game they're there to stop the path watch Herman Smith a missed tackle there now he breaks to the outside and where are the linebackers all stuck up inside and Smith France was in Seahawks now lead at 20 to 7 as Herrera will try and make it 3 for 3 on the day's sword is holding penalty marker is time the kick is good but there is a flag down and the officials will talk it over false start offense attack I'll start by the Seahawks they will kick it again with B better jump before the ball with snap and on an extra point there are no signals you say Ready Set and you don't move until you see the ball snap and be bouncing out on the injured reserve he doesn't have the timing down and it cost they move it back and Herrera will try once more to get to the natural turf now to pick it up to the Pickers mouth [Music] Anna rare puts it through so the Seattle Seahawks now leave the San Francisco 49ers by the score of 21 to 7 to 46 ready in the sluice pan back in the moment a reminder coming up in two weeks Saturday October the 20th on MPC's sports world from Pretoria South Africa undefeated Harry qudsiya and John teeth they go toe-to-toe for the WBA heavyweight championship of the world also action with the legends of bowling plus of time from it's a celebrity poker tournament with people like Franco Harris of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Gabe Kaplan all this and more October 20th pop sports world the kickoff by Efrain her Palace is full and decides to stay right there and hears it from the crowd he had a lot of Running Room I I don't like that you've got a chance to score a touchdown if you can break it you can't score when you got to knee down in the end zone not a wise choice rookie out of UCLA James Owens who has been a disappointment take a look at the from the endzone and you'll see how much room gamezone's had I'll tell you how was the young rookie out of UCLA like I was once upon a time might have been running like the wind what do you want seven a slow wind says our producer right you saw me play all right there's the bird off the play action going deep downfield for Sullivan now let's see who has the football it's will incomplete go down Webster and for the Sullivan battling for it and it's incomplete the tie goes to the receiver if it's caught nothing that ball bouncing on the ground out of Denver we have a report that Norris waist the starting quarterback has been replaced by Craig Morton we saw that two weeks ago the Seattle fans will remember it we has an injured knee two weeks ago Morten came on and threw three touchdown passes within two and a half minutes leading to that incredible come from behind victory over the Seattle Seahawks second and ten here for the 49ers jewel two half left in this first half San Francisco trailing 21 to 7 [Applause] at the birth to throw again this time lays it off Francis stop by Larry Pawlowski as Francis came out of the backfield and it's spotted out of the 27 yard line setting up a third and three and in that Bronco San Diego game it's Denver seven San Diego nothing in Diego one of the better offensive clubs in the NFL the Bronco defense must have come alive we are approaching the 2-minute mark and now the indication so with two minutes remaining here of a first half the Seahawks leave the 49ers 21% Steve de Burgh seventh pretend thus far 97 yards he's going with a backfield of Wilbur Jackson and I am sathya minutes left first half Seahawks later 21 7 Seahawks during pre-season play one of the 49ers by the score 55 220 it was 55 nothing at one Forks and a whole new defensive backfield and Jim Zorn took advantage Martha Burke all Malone's got Jackson Jackson would open field with the first out of the field by the left cornerback Cornell Webster I'll tell you Steve de Burgh coulda run and gotten that much yardage but they paid Jackson to run the football and catch the football to Burke did the smart thing no knee injuries when you're not carrying it and he caught him in that prevent defense and the short pass goes then and Jackson did a wise thing he got out of bounds and saved a timeout could be important fact that play took only seven seconds setting up a first down they spotted at the 47 yard line Sullivan is out to the right side here's Simpson though and Simpson gets to the 50 that sets up a second and seven as oj picked up three on the play hurry up offense being utilized now by the 49ers the left guard John Ayers led Simpson minute and a half remaining in this first half and DeBerg will put it up now he Sprint's it again for Jackson and Jackson lunches out to the 45 short of a first down at now the 49ers call for time timeout caught by San Francisco with a minute and 24 remaining in this first half and the Seahawks leading it by the score of 21 to 7 we'll be back right after these words San Francisco ball as we resumed following their time out of the 49ers have two timeouts remaining per minute 24 left in this first half and the 49ers have a third and one at the Seattle 44 there's no better coach than Bill Walsh for this two-minute drill I saw him in his days at Cincinnati and at San Diego he knows how to get the yardage to save the time out Soloman left human right the bird goes to the ground Wilbur Jackson able to break a tackle and picks up the first down right near the 40 yard line like one of 19 pound makes the stop again the 49 is in there hurry up offense a minute Kent remaining now in this first half and the bird will throw fires from the right nearly intercepted by Cornell Webster Cornell Webster an outstanding athletic move go through the air batted that away and coaches will tell corner backs you can make that diving interception or knock down which is better get the football if you don't he's in the end zone second and 10 at the 40 with a minute and two remaining I mentioned that preseason wipe out by the Seahawks over the 49ers these two clubs have met only once before during the course of the regular season that back in 1976 in Seattle and San Francisco one of 37:21 they have met four times in pre-season and Seattle has won three of the four including that 55 to 20 victory this past three seats now the birds what looked shorter than what the middle short of a first down Sullivan the receiver Beeson stopped him clock is running fifty seconds from any boarded on us to have a two timeouts remaining [Music] and now I get a little better Francis that's the first out of school should have got out of bounds to stop the clock but this on had been moved by Francis he got wide open he was tight-roping down the sidelines he should have stepped out and again saved another time out the speech slipped out from under him again the way to beat the pre-ban defense is underneath and now you see Brett says he tripped himself nobody even touched him in a costume a timeout of hostage Club a timeout by not keeping his beat San Francisco now calling for time so they have one left with 47 seconds remaining in this first half a break in the action we'll be back in just a moment [Music] there are usually nine or ten infants playing laughing learning what it feels like to be loved we can't show you their faces because they are victims of child abuse and neglect [Music] I'm archery demon of the Seattle Seahawks and this is the Seattle Day Nursery an agency supported by United Way here they give love back to little children whose parents have agreed to seek help in many cases they were often abused or neglected themselves as children no one knows how many abuse children there are but here in Seattle there's a small ray of hope thanks to a lot of volunteers who want to share the meaning of love thanks to them thanks to you it works for all of us the United Way the appreciating announcement was furnished as a public service by the national football in San Francisco now with one timeout left 37 seconds remaining of the first half Seattle leading by the score 21 to 7 [Applause] Oh 17 guideline the bird swoops it off the window Elliot not able to come up with a football Karl eller was covering our flood sent all their receivers on crossing patterns to the left tried to set it up for Linville Elliot who came over from Cincinnati and Bill Wolf's remembers him when he coached the offense in Cincinnati Eliot spent six years with the Bengals seventh year Pro out of Northeast Missouri State and a good receiver he has taught 10 for 78 yards not a good throw that time though tough to catch those down low at your feet behind you de Burgh is 11 for 16 a hundred and forty four yards has Shula now for the right side on the second and 10 at the 17 [Music] oh really picked off sullivan able to hold on and be somehow to crack it again a poor throw by steve de Burgh solomon they tried to hide him from it a split end spot he's in real tight you'll see him fake a little bit of a block and he's trying to sneak under the coverage but watch de Burgh throw its way behind him in those tough those are tough to catch we talked about that the first quarter when Solomon had the bird throw it behind him a bird and tan and a timeout call by the 49ers Bill Walsh wanted to talk it over with Steve divert so the timeout is called and what he's saying to steve is give us the opportunity for points he doesn't want the interception obviously I'm not going to run the football so they won't fumble but de Burgh has had problems throwing into a crowd now they'll talk to Terry Beeson and say you'd be in that line a look at tonight's lineup here on NBC starting at 7:00 and of a Disney's wonderful world part two of the billion dollar duck starring Dean Jones on the big event Gray Lady down Trump Heston David Carradine and prime time Sunday with Tom Schneider coming up at 10 o'clock tonight all here on NBC 28 seconds remaining in the first half Terry Beeson food Healy picked off that pass that Sullivan was not able to hang on to as you saw just a moment ago chatting over at the Seattle bench as de Burgh returns Steve de Burgh spent all of the past offseason rehabilitating an injured me that was actually suffered of a final game of the season long it's cost him his feet have been slow and that doesn't help you in your throw there's a third intent for DeBerg on the forty niners movement at a penalty marker down off the reverse olden schools the left side [Applause] so what the flag was gamezone's UCLA alumnus out there run and you better tackle that young man again I mentioned he was the world-class long jumper so you know he's got the powerful legs what they do Pat Haggerty what did they do defense number 71 [Music] well that's the old pro Karl eller offside there it is our camera crew eller jumped offside there Simpson on the face sweep now back to Owens watch this young man you don't think he's an athlete look at these moves great break quick feet there to be keep but or the outside linebacker and he even beat him quite hairy bill Gregory couldn't hold on to it first and goal at the 6 yard line here's the bird [Applause] chuckles go cook covered up but try to get the field goal unit in now the clock has stopped with nine seconds because the quarterback was downed every time the quarterback is sacked and they count that as the sack now the clock starts up this will be five yard attempt and wasn't with Shiro remaining on the clock able to hit the 25 yard people go well the 49ers nearly blew an opportunity for a score as the bird could not get it in on first and goal from the 6 but they leave the field out relevee Seahawks by the score of 21 to 10 at halftime Seattle Seahawks 21 and the San Francisco 49ers dead [Music] we are at halftime at Candlestick Park in San Francisco for Seattle two touchdowns by Dan joining one by Sherman Smith and for San Francisco a three yard TD run by OJ Simpson and just before the final got a 25 yard field

now let's go to NFL 79 in new york for an update from bryant gumbel sunday number six is sunday of frustration for some NFL coaches particularly for this man John McKay head of the Tampa Bay

Louis aware 24 17 the Battle of 4 & 1 teams and on Lake Erie Pittsburgh versus Cleveland 44 21 frank O'Hara 71 yard touchdown run Rocky Bleier a 70 yard touchdown run the Chargers are averaging 28

still searching for victory number one they're on top right now ten to six in the fourth Dallas Minnesota 30 20 net game also in the fourth quarter and Seattle against San Francisco San Francisco still winless through these weeks Seattle's out in front 21 to 10 that ball game is at the half you are caught up on Sunday number six we've still got a second half the football to come and we'll get to it right after this commercial break back in San Francisco Marv Albert with Mike after Seahawks leading it by the score of 21 10 as we get set for the kickoff and I talked to OJ Simpson prior to the game about that celebrated knee injury of his let's talk toe j oj everybody in the country wants to know about the knee give us a background on it and how it's feeling well it's feeling pretty good I have some problems with it because it swells up like after the game of the swell up if I worked real hard during the week of Wednesday's I big off and some day so I work hard on Wednesday it swells up a little bit so I can't work too hard on Thursday so I try to keep a balance so try to get enough work in on Mondays and Wednesdays and and try to layoff it a little bit the latter part of the week so the swelling to go down it hurts my conditioning somewhat but it's what I got to do to play thanks 5 - thank you an oj has looked sharp in the first half 37 yards 10 carries averaging just under four yards per carry however his club is trailing here 21 10 as we await the kickoff from Efrain Herrera and the ball toppled from the T so he'll have to tee it up once again back deep for the San Francisco 49ers Paul Hofer and James Owens as you look at the halftime statistics barely even time of possession right close together 216 yards for the Seahawks 209 for the 49ers and the kickoff as a short one taken by Owens to the quantity I said earlier it's been a disappointing first but he is a two-sport was here today and again we see a kicker who saved the touchdown : tremendous speed a great sprinter world-class sprinter out of UCLA a running back who has been moved to wide receiver he breaks to the outside Steve rebel and ephraim the herrera makes the tackle I haven't seen two kickers make the tackle in one game in a long time 41 yarder on by James Owens first down for San Francisco at the Seattle 48 yard line [Applause] off the face from the verb for the first out and much for so Jackson the five-year ban out of Alabama has been averaging about three per carry adding to the stats right there setting up a first round at the Seattle 34 yard line good call by Steve de Burke they've been going outside with very much success this time just a quick handoff and faked the outside pitch Rover Jackson found a hole he's got the speed to get the secondary Simpson and Jackson are the running backs for five Ana's Brewer as we reset the San Francisco 49ers again it's Jackson 4 yard advance makes a second and six out of the 30 yard line in the first half the Seattle scoring two touchdowns by Dornoch 1 on a 13 yarder on the other on a 3 yard what Sherman Smith scored the other Seattle touchdown okay Simpson for the 49ers half of 25-yard field goal by Ray working-clothes standoff with zero on the clock okay [Applause] neither the 26-yard line sammy green number 56 making the stop on the play we talked about the emotion advantage that san francisco would have coming out at halftime because of that field goal with no time left they get a great return of the kickoff they've had two excellent running plays one by Jackson one by Simpson that they must score on this Drive to keep that emotion up it has a third and about law though Francis number 48 has come on to join Simpson in the back fit his okay 30 safety the stop Randy cross and Keith's hot horse leading it off the right side it's kind of like Arnold Palmer and golf it's OJ Simpson running the football every time he gets his hands on it I get goose bumps because the man still has the moves despite eleven years of cruising tackles and serious injury and you have to wonder about OJ's these honest very hard artificial turf the last couple of weeks he has left just five silver Jackson got the call right there artificial turf will run anyone out of course this is prescription athletic turf natural grass and that's an advantage for OJ he played on artificial surface all the time at home when he was in Buffalo here he has natural turf and that will help his name Jackson might have picked up a half yard as you look at the Simpson story for the day 12 rushes 50 yards second anti outside the 16 Frances packet combining with Simpson sir split man [Applause] three-sixty John her left our air center opening up that big hole for filters one of the reasons the Frances got into the secondary so quickly they faked the pitch out to OJ Simpson it drew the linebackers in this and for Francis seventh-round draft foot rookie out of stanford who had carried the ball only six times coming into today bill Wolf's remembered him he coached at Stanford first and goal now Simpson summer five [Applause] so a two-yard advance it'll be a second and goal at the five yard line and Frances returns to the lineup replacing Jackson and again the reason for Frances in the backfield is to block for OJ Simpson another reason they pulled the seahawk defense when Frances broke that inside running play we are early third quarter now the 49ers looking to get on the board trailing by the score of 20 1 to 10 they're stubborn [Applause] [Music] [Applause] across the 49ers were arvo 91 yard and we talked to Bill Walt prior to the game about Steve de Burgh trying to force the football into a crowd other way to explain it the bird made a great fake inside to Francis didn't even look to see who was covering OJ Simpson in the flat Bambi green steps in front now comes the footrace and watch Cornell Webster that's a guy that hustlin helped his linebacker out Sammy green 91 yards oh he'll talk about that one for the rest of his life Seahawks tallied 27 to 10 and our era with sword holding huge turnaround play by Green makin twenty eight to ten to the Seahawks ten minutes and 13 seconds remaining third quarter huge turnover the intercept I agreed to take it in and have a Seahawks lead 28 to 10 well Seattle coach Jack pateros certainly enjoy the 91 yard intercept returned by Sammy green that is a Seattle public and it's the second longest of all time against the 49ers as we are informed by our statistician Jack prote a 91 yard interception return by the four-year veteran out of the University of Florida Sammy green and again of course grilled by Steve de Berg he set it up for Sammy green he took advantage Efrain her hour to kick - James Owens and Paul Hooper and it soars to the tenth this time good work by the Seattle special team went by John defect a know ins is contained a reminder coming up in two weeks on sports world that's Saturday October the 20th the WBA world heavyweight championship fight between undefeated knockouts specialist John T and Harry cozy identity live from Pretoria South Africa and also see the legends of bowling with a top pro shooting for sports world big money split plus of time from it's women's gymnastics from Moscow and celebrity poker a blockbuster lineup October the 20th on sports world I know you're doing the fight can I jump in your bag and along with you that will be an interesting and long trip here's the burg on first down and he's got the lentil Eliot short pickup Keith Simpson the strong safety in on the play what is that big play by Sammy Greene take the stuffing out of the ball go I told you that the 49ers had to score because they had emotional edge that interception by Green has just taken it away from the 49ers wild one between Pittsburgh and Cleveland nine minutes left in the ballgame Pittsburgh lays at 45 to 44 to 35 Brian Sipe just hit Dave Logan on a 15 yard touchdown pass psifas thrown five and complete Francis backpedaling not able to hold on he was covered by Green and not a very good throw by Steve de Berg in the foo birds are out San Francisco but back up to Steve de Berg is the rookie out of Notre Dame a third round draft pick Joe Montana who has been utilized as a holder thus far during the regular season he is thrown on you want pass and that on a fake field goal attempt and Montana had a good preseason held the last game dinner and again bill talk said he didn't want to throw him in there to the lions much like Phil Simms at New York so the bird who has come on very well won the job this time able to hit Elliott Glanville Elliott he picked it up out to the 30-yard line Larry pawlowski extra linebacker making the stop left guard John Aires with a good block as Elliot picked up that first ad off a good second effort in Linville Elliot again played under 49er head coach Bill Walsh at Cincinnati and bill knows what he can do it's the slip screen there's a are 68 the outstanding block on carriejustin and then the second effort and that will keep you drawing your salary on Monday afternoon so on the tag get the check out mother [Music] first down from the 30 and here's Eliot on the sweep and Eliot with a nice cool began up to the 40 outline grantee cross leaded Keith Butler made the stop and it's another first half picked up by Eliot you look at the stats on the bird and once again it can't be misleading we mentioned that about Zorn in his effort last week against Kansas City look at the records and it looks very impressive but you look at the bird statistics he is number four in the NFC as you see that final Denver beat San Diego but the bird has met a couple of real bit mistakes here today so you can wipe out all those statistics plus he dumps them off like their Rover Jackson out to midfield and of course those short passes the swing passes will add to the statistics look at total yards and average yards per gain and de Burgh is not up there among the leaders [Applause] that's his story today and again you pick up the paper tomorrow and you see statistics like that say hey not bad but a couple of real big mistakes and the 49ers who were on the move just moments ago could have been taken out of the ballgame on an intercept by greens no gain at all for Phil Francis so it'll be a third and about one Beeson in on the tackle along with Boyd it's really disconcerting for the 49ers when they flow a 74-yard drive and it turns right around to be seven points for the Seahawks that's tough to overcome it is a third and one at the 50 San Francisco with singleton and fought horse at the tackles cross and airs the guards pull of the center second back coming through Elliott picks up the first down Glen Phil Elliott but the first half Peter Cronin middle linebacker makes the stop it is a first down for the 49ers at the Seattle 47 yard line San Francisco now trailing 28 to 10 7 & a half remaining in this third quarter can't really count the 49ers out yet but this drive better result in something besides a 91 yard return interception long setback Frances turning to the right side penalty Parker has been thrown down Larry pawlowski making the stop on Francis holding penalty indicated by the referee Pat Haggerty and it's against the 49ers and that'll stop and drive every day of the week so they will move it back San Francisco with a record of oh and five they do have one of the more difficult schedules in the National Football League and were involved in some clothes folding number 71 puppet involved some close ball games with better soda Dallas la New Orleans beaten severely last week by San Diego they have the Giants who come off the upset win over Tampa Bay today next week at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey the Giants are going to be tough next week off the win [Music] - Bert with some time and completes to shoot it Mike Schumann second-year pro at a Florida State brought down by combination of Cronin wallowski Seattle Seahawks secondary has done a very good job of keeping de Burgh from going long we've got an injury it is Shubin Sherman was charred as he made that catch at the 45 yard line he is being attended to right now a break of the action will return after this apparently Mike Schumann is all right as he was clearly wallop and making that last reception watch his head to get sandwiched between the two linebackers and his head drives into the ground I think he was out cold for about 15 seconds back live second of eight at the 45 is - Burke swings it again and this is Hoover Jackson [Applause] Polaski with a hardhead [Music] [Applause] swindle Elliot I'll tell you his second effort on his last big carries really been exciting he's been the spark plug so far in this drive for the 49ers it is a third-down play and eat at the 45 and that denver is set a nothing win over San Diego is talking about Porter back statistics and how they can be deceiving as you look at OJ Simpson pacing the sidelines Dan Fouts of San Diego was 27 for 44 505 yards the charges did not score 50 different losers and here is de Burgh throwing tenifer Owens down at the 30 John Harris the free safety don't bring out the play and it is a 4th down punting situation dan Belleville comes on as Steve de Burgh goes over to the sidelines and again de Burgh tried to force that one he didn't see John Harris back there he almost got it picked off Tony Green is back in the single safety there is green in his second year out of Florida former Washington Redskins former New York giant Melville will check from his 40 you get the feeling that Green is gonna break one one of these times he certainly is do well there is green he started to call fair catch explain that one that's stuff you got to know where you are in the football field that's important well a timeout called with 553 left third quarter Seahawks 28 49ers 10 back at Candlestick in San Francisco there's OJ Simpson who missed the last San Francisco series as well see how I'll go to work first down up there at 9 yard line nothing wrong with OJ they like to give him a rest [Music] Tony for setbacks that's washin and potions and sword with time Sherman Smith out near the 20-yard line again a beautiful fake by Jim Zorn will be hopper the right linebacker making this stuff and it is a first down for Seattle we're looking at Mike human on the bench he's obscured there a bit by the doctor the report is a slight concussion and they don't know whether it be back today or not you don't want to take any chances whether first after Seattle left of 20 Mark Bell the rookie out of Colorado State is now in a tight end for the CEO work out of the eye Dornoch straight ahead move picks up three alpha play bunts and Vincent combined to make the stop the 49ers defensively have our cheery steffanson Jimmy web-centric Hartman up front the linebackers Dan Fox 40 Saracino Willie hopper the corner mentor Charles Cornelius and Gerrard Williams and the deep mental ray and Melvin Morgan [Applause] it is a second at about six so look at the [Music] situation only second down though yes our tape open ahead of the game maybe they know something here is dawning is able to make the reception at the far side strong saftey Timbre by the tackle well now we have a third down yes it is one yard short of the first now we're look at those third down conversions at about a yard and a half up coming out of the 29 yard line for 20 left in this third quarter Seahawks leader 28 to 10 a big turnaround play with the 49ers driving here earlier this third quarter Sammy green picked one off and ran it in from 91 yards out the longest intercept return of a history of the Seahawk franchise joining as picked up the first seahawk offensive line had an outstanding day in the first half against the Denver Broncos two weeks ago and today have been dominating San Francisco's front for allegan today Seattle furred in the AFC offensive ly 3rd and passing 50 and a rushing but defensively a solid number 10 very poor against the pass can't win than the National Football League without defense you can have all the offense you won but columnist now to the right side and logic is left push down the Seattle after a 30 yard line off the play action psalm looking from a cup and it hasn't completed McCullum covered by the free safety melvin morgan a timed corner route by Sam McCollum good throw just maybe two inches off the mark but kind of a conservative day for Zorn he's thrown on the eleven times but he's 9 for 11 for a hundred and twenty seven yards and has been just fine right for a while one of the reasons he hadn't thrown that much as they've been getting to the outside with the rushing game Dornoch and Smith had been running the ball well why throw it up when you're running good Jesse Green has come on replacing Sam McCollum ahthe the wide receiver Green to the left vulajin is to the right saw the setbacks are Gordon Kemp spent three and a half left third for Seahawks leader 28 to 10 and sort DOS it off but Smith actually was defeated by his own band of her 78 5 Newton and could not work his way free for that fast throw by Zorn so we'll have a third and 10 upcoming right here let's pause briefly for station identification this is the NBC television network this is ki ng TV Seattle [Music] Marv Albert with Mike Hafner from Candlestick Park in San Francisco Seattle Seahawks leading the San Francisco 49ers 28 to 10 the big play a 91-yard intercept touchdown by sandy green earlier this third quarter with the 49ers threatening a 40 Pro passed by the bird that time Sauron was just able to get it alone intended for joining or discovering [Applause] look at another look at that last play as Seattle is stopped by San Francisco the guy who made this play an incompletion with Jimmy Webb number 74 the defensive right tackle tremendous pressure on Zorn Doran didn't want to take the sack so he threw it up the buns all over Smith back live permit Weaver running from his 15-yard line Brett Sullivan Tony Dungy are back deep and this is Sullivan Sullivan with Toyota goes across the 25 Larry Pawlowski backup linebacker Inaba tackle 12 seconds remaining in the third quarter the Seahawks tweeting it polyester town [Music] San Francisco 49ers take over now first out up there 27 yard line Owens look to the right and Sullivan Oh Jay Simpson is back with Wilbur Jackson the bird will throw on Ferb again the Duff off this time Simpson lost his point the shame that the skinned infield from the baseball diamond is still here it will be sighted in next Lake but that doesn't help OJ today because he's slipped on that stuff Robert Hardy was able to cover up the juice sat at the 30 so it's a three-yard gain a second and seven for the 49ers two minutes and 40 seconds left in this third quarter once again Solomon left and all right here's Jackson that's tough plumbing they're just picked up a couple that is really rough Terry bisa the middle linebacker making the stop and that composition turf down there the dirt so the infield is very granular because of the winds here at Candlestick Park and if you fall on that stuff it's like falling on emery board how about that Baltimore is not undefeated anymore the Jets are so up and down they're the most yo-yo team in the NFL I think they got their first win teddy saved it Jeff for another week that's a very strange ball club here Simpson penalty marker down as [Applause] but a flag as there are Keith Simpson was able to finally get to the juice and this could be a big disappointment yes the calling it back as a procedure call [Music] illegal formation let's if we can see it from the snap evidently somebody was in motion but OJ still got the moves he gets to the outside quickly you see the flag go down and then that great burst of speed and just tripped up for OJ - going all the way but it all goes for not since - not very the hand is for Simpson as he comes back to the San Francisco bench it's been a solid ball game for OJ and as you mentioned earlier my coach Bill Walsh just wants to spot Simpson at times because as he put it wants to happen for the entire schedule Watson for the 16 games but though Jay has looked very very well here today even on one leg he's still one of the greatest it is a third eighth now back at the 28 yard line [Music] picks up on that fake by the burger when stumbling back has he had it to Francis he saw the middle linebacker hit on the tackle Pittsburgh and Cleveland updated defenses went stayed home for that one Steelers do it 51 to 35 right here the 49ers not able to do it and a punting situation as rookie out of University of California Dan Bell who gets set to punt away to that man Tony green I still sees dumar you're talking about green yes well the rap against Tony and I'm sure it's been written in Seattle as he awaits this Bank time part is that he has shied away from with lots of traffic the Redskins could not figure it out after the excellent area had last season making the pro-bono sir look he came to preseason Freddie camp and was not looking to get involved with her host of tacklers around and the same thing happen with the Giants they had him for a while and profit Thomas zebra and on the tackle Charlie green coming up in two

start of the fourth quarter with the Seahawks leading over the 49ers 28 to 10 think Bill Walsh was very happily happy about that fumble recovery he wanted that one to go his way and he complained

49ers in the Seahawks NFL report with a complete rundown of the day's activities of a national football in Washington the intended receiver Gerrard Williams covered him well and thorn kept the idea

minute of play fourth quarter and the Seahawks lead at twenty eight to ten let 21 10 at half time off two touchdowns five Dornoch and one by Smith in the first half big play of the third quarter 91

the knee the first time he finally got his attention and then not really a great throw afterwards Barbara Weaver to boot from his 40-yard line Sullivan had a prop in front of him and rabl Townsend heavy rush that time by the 49ers and that caused Herman to try and get it off quickly in a four punch Merc gene 49 remaining fourth quarter we'll be back after this next Sunday here at NBC an

final game last season the burg was born in Oakland grew up in Anaheim California with the 49ers down by 18 points obviously by the computer they need three touchdowns can be done I've seen it done it's going to be tough for the 49ers the swing for Jackson good heart tackle out of the 34 by Autry Beeman it's good to see Beeman back in there making those tough tackles he lost his job the Simpson at the strong safety spot he'll be knocking people down for the next couple weeks trying to earn his job back same market just inside the 35 so that sets a third m3 12 and a half left in the fourth quarter 49ers to the violet bother Center Fred Quillin [Music] and Simpson I second effort by OJ but comes hobbling off to the side lot as he picked up at first now you can see him protect that knee

Louis beat Houston another upset right here first out of the 34 OJ Simpson again breaks tackles to get inside the 25 but old Harris combined to make this stop the left tackle robbed singleton you'll see number 67 on leash Oh Jay I wonder if this Seattle defense now will stop looking at OJ hobbling around off the field taking rest because the guys feel got it I mean he does this all on his own broke three or four tackles and he gets a round of applause even if he walks off the field [Music] they're gonna measure to see if he made that first down while they're measuring for this first down they were getting our finals and they did make the first down [Applause] after first out of the twenty three as that wild ball game between Pittsburgh and Cleveland Steelers winning at 51 235 Denver over San Diego despite the fact that Dan Fouts and haywire statistics la leading New Orleans in the first twenty eight to seven there's the bird with some time the tight-end mcavee on the reception as Butler of the right sideline factor made the stop inside the 20 so it's only a pickup of about four and that brings up a second and six for San Francisco there's the second year fraud of Notre Dame his dad played for Alabama and was a fine player for the New York Giants over five seasons Kent McAfee Baltimore beating the Jets today Dallas over Ben Isola 36 to 20 [Music] and so second and six

quarter it honors first and goal at the die there's a fight over Rams feeding to all of 3517 second back [Music] now the 49ers now 1228 to 16 amid this run all on his own watch how he took at least three potential attackers the fake inside to Jackson held one linebacker here Cornel Webster forget it he faked him now Simpson has a shot at him no chance spins around Dave Brown says white tackle him he's already scored so the 49ers showing sports of success in this Drive was one of them really damaged by that we go back to it again that early third quarter in his section 91 God returned the Sammy green Montana the whole around working puts it through timeout calling fourth-quarter Seattle now lead San Francisco 28 to 17 back at Candlestick Park in San Francisco Marv Albert of Mike after

30-yard line dang tackle led by Tony Dungy the Bekaa safety man 40 Saracino also involved at least Seahawks now first down across the 30-yard line [Applause] forty-niner defense if they hope to keep their offense in the game have got to stop Seattle no first downs on this Drive annal setting green to the white side and out now he's going to the battlefield that's why three to the right and to the bench launch it out to the right side that would have been an effective play this is Jeff for out to the 37 yard line and this is not the Canadian League where they used 12 Hartman and Reese the two outside man combining to make that stuff San Francisco of the front for Reese Benson web and Harvin the linebackers of buns hopper and the Saracino in the corners Cornelius and Williams and gray and Morgan ah the defense seven-yard pickup it's a second and free to cut back foot not van Doorn Inc had no running room at all Cornelius the left quarterback combining with the left side linebacker Saracino gorni Saracino strung that out well and gave a chance for Charles Cornelius to pull him push before I got about Paul does placed at the 38 and it is a third and about a yard and a half big play they go double tight end pizzas well 49ers [Applause] for the first Steve Largent on a curve in a yard and a half coming up of a key reception stop by Gerrard Williams I'll tell you what Gary Rome up in the box must have been listening because it's tough to get your footing on a running play at third and one and a half in that skin part of the infield so he went to the pass and he saw that Gerrard Williams was off of Largent that's as good as a running play any day of the week 6:45 left in the fourth quarter McCollum is left and Largent right first bound for Seattle at their 48 yard line [Music] [Applause] couple of people jump right there look to be a steve august the right tackle and Pete's the tight end we'll have to wait and see penalty markers all over the field I like your

Sherman Smith [Music] but he is not in our the Surrey [Music] [Applause] I'd sort off the short setup a little the 45 and he injure our lives involve Rabil obviously felt that he was knocked down and Williams wanted to make sure I think Williams a little upset that second time in a row he got burned on that quick pitch pattern once for the first down by Largent this time by rable he's still short of the first down though on their forty third and four that Dornoch returns so Hunter departs it is 1/3 and for now after 46 learning the good past receiver that fly he's back in [Music] sword looks to pearl goes incomplete antenna from economy so the Seahawks forced to give up that football 49ers played that well Gordy Saracino was all over Dan Dornoch and that was the primary receiver for Jim Zorn he was covered he had to throw it away [Applause] Herman Weaver setting up back behind his 40-yard line and back deep it's Fred Salomon and Tony Dungy 6:21 left fourth quarter now the 49ers now

that's why it wasn't in the last couple of series Paul hopeful Rama we should hit down though across the 15 by Keith Simpson now you know why Keith Simpson has won his job at the strong safety beat now dr. Beeman he reads pass well not tell you the 49ers hit it with Hofer just sneaking out of the backfield but they didn't fold Simpson perfect tackle right at the knees it is 1/3 and sex [Applause] [Music] that's the eighth different receiver of the 1400 throw the football to today come from you trying to play catch-up [Applause] Oh to the left side now this is full fur triangle left side Simpson it will bring him down across the 20-yard line but he's got the first down going to be close over there I think he's short he marked it way back the 49ers are not happy where that ball with police you're right it has been marked right across the 20-yard line so it is short of a first down it'll be a fourth and about one they're going for it coming up next NFL report following the Seahawks and the 49ers and we have four minutes and 45 seconds remaining in this fourth quarter here's the ball game right here fourth down a little over a yard to go if it'll make this [Applause]

this time he just took off look he almost loses the ball right there now his great speed and he's pointing out blockers get that man for me and I'll go all the way and he's pushed out of bounds by
